Hi everyone , this is my first time s please be gentle!
I have got a few issues with my Ml 280 Sport 2006 model!
1) I keep getting the ESP/ABS and run flat indicator not active lights up for short time on initial start up and lasting around 10/30 mins.
2) the red battery sign keeps coming up and visit workshop indicator on the ECU, This also stops the cigarette lighter working( I know this as my iPhone docker is sat in it!) this is easily cleared by revving the engine a little but it is happening when the car is traveling at 75 mph on the motorway in cruise control? If its a battery issue then am I wrong in thinking that the battery is charging all the time when in use???
3) if I put my foot down going up a hill it sometimes sticks at 2000rpm in any gear causing the car to rapidly slow down and this is rectified by switching the engine off and restarting( I used to have a ml270 2002 and this happened due to the MAFS but eventually couldn't reset and went into limp mode, will this happen with the 280 ml??)
I have recently had the car in for a service with no problems and these problems are getting more and more frequent :-(
I did a voltage test on the battery and with the engine off it sits around 11.9/12 volts and on startup it drops to around 10 volts and steadys out around 14 volts but slowly drops to 13.7/13.6 on idle! It drops off also with each rev and slowly builds back up?
I have ready on here about speed sensors, alternators, big battery's ,little battery's and regulators! Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Oh and if I have to change the main battery, Is there a mechanical stop on the drivers chair to stop it coming fully forward? Can't seem to make it travel far!
Kind regards
